G'day Mate,
It sometimes depends on the engine, ie. how much heat it can produce, the guys in my club use straight diesel fuel, with their DA50 gassers, works a treat.

I've heard of a mix, diesel and transmission fluid
Will have to get one of the guys to try straight diesel. I'm going to be using each of the three stacks off my 170 3 cylinder 4 stroke!

Mike, that is a great article. Do you know where you one can purchase a check valve?

Most hobby shops carry them.

If you're interested, this is the pump I use:

I have tried others, but this one seems to work the best and doesn't cause radio interference.
